A refresh & a rebrand!
Hello!
It’s been so long since I’ve shared my crafting adventures here! It’s been weighing on my mind how much I miss blogging & I think it’s time to get back to it!
I’ve been working with an amazing women’s support group, Mosaic Sisters, to host crafting sessions! I love being able to share my love of crafting with this group of women. We gather on a zoom meet up & chat while making our creations! The sessions are always virtual, so anyone can join & are typically held on Fridays! Liz McNulty is the founder & CEO of Mosaic Sisters & has partnered with me to bring you an easy to shop Amazon storefront with all the craft supplies you’ll need all in one place! If you’re interested in joining my craft workshops, please check out Mosaic Sisters for more information on joining the support group!
I’m excited to share my crafting adventures from the last year in addition to some really cute things I have planned for the future! I’ve decided to do a refresh & a rebrand to fit the current version of myself! It’s hard to say goodbye to “Finless Mermaid”, but the branding just doesn’t feel right anymore! I hope you enjoy what “Suddenly Mama” has to offer! Stay tuned!
Stay crafty, my friends!

It’s been a while!
Hello!
Gosh it’s been a while! I haven’t been crafting as often. I’ve been experimenting with different hobbies. My recent and not so recent favorite is photography. My blog has remained focused on crafting, but I thought it would be fun to introduce some of my photos to the blog! & hopefully I’ll get back to sharing my crafting adventures soon!
For now, I’ve started an online photography course. I’m using a Canon Rebel T6. So far everything I’ve done has been self taught or with the advice of my close friend who is a professional photographer. I’m excited to see my progress!
The photo above was taken in my parents rose garden.
Souvenir Shadow Box
Hello!
I’ve been in search of a fun way to store and display some of my Disney Souvenirs. While shopping at Home Goods today I found the perfect shadow box to do just that. Initially I was going to place my pins on a burlap canvas, but I love this idea. I left my pins on my lanyard and was able to store my magic band as well.

Gift Set!
Hello!
Gifting can be tough! Below I’m featuring a gift set I assembled & it works great for all holidays & occasions!
I purchased the wooden crate from Michael’s & painted it using a rose gold spray paint. I also purchased a large mason jar to use for collecting corks. I added a wine chiller, wine glass, and a bottle of wine to finish off the gift set.
This is a great gift set option for any wine lover. It’s easy to cater this gift set to the recipient by using designs and colors they love!
